OCALA, Fla. - May 13. With a capacity crowd appearing for the reopening of Ocala Speedway as Bubba Raceway Park,
"Bubba the Love Sponge" saw the love and support of fans and racers as the late model division competed for $5000
to win in the inaugural "Mike Peters Open". Tyler Ivey earned the big payday after coming from mid-pack and taking
a late lead.

The track dispensed with the B-Main and allowed all 28 entries to race the 30-lap main event, with Phillip Cobb
drawing pole position. Before Cobb could make use of it, hwever, he found his car sideways on the start, along with
Keith Nosbisch, Jason Davis, and Jim Cryer, while 24 others tried to take evasive action.

With Ivedent Lloyd leading, on lap two, Chuck Chitty got loose, and Johnny Collins and Dillon Wood spun to bring
out the yellow. As the green came out for the restart, Christian Augspurger pulled into the pit area for the
night.

While Lloyd dominated, Ivey and Nosbisch worked their way up from the middle of the pack before Wood, Brandon
DeWitt, and Shan Smith had a meeting in turn one. As leader Lloyd passed them, contact was made with the left rear
of Lloyd's #21, cutting the tire. Lloyd would stay out for the green-white-checkered finish, Ivey smelled blood and
took the lead from Lloyd and raced to the win in the "Mike Peters Open". Nosbisch took second, while Dillon Wood
beat Lloyd by a nose for third.
